Office Guilty in Gitmo Detainee Case

We've had threads about Gitmo before. This article appeared in the Dallas Morning News last Friday.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/nation/stories/051907dnnatdiaz.29005e7.html

Heading the page, that doesn't show up in the online story, is the following "guantanamo prisoners by the numbers"

380- current total

395- estimated number freed or tranferred to other countries

80- estimated number eligible for release or transfer but still in custody while the US negotiates with other countries

1- Number of completed war crimes prosecutions

55- Percentage "not accused of committing a single hostile act

8- Percentage identified by the Defense Dept as Al Qaeda fighters.

100- percentage of hearings in which the government determined enemy combatant status without producing a witness

93- Percentage of hearings in which enemy combatant status was determined without production of documentary evidence



Not exactly the "liberty and justice for all" that we portend to be. Officer Diaz felt compelled to expose it because of his oath to defend the Constitution. I hope he does NO jail time in this.

This whole Bush Administration is like a bad dream, and we are just waking up.
